They run 11’s b/c they are a forged internal motor running decent boost levels, are 2wd, lighter, have a trans made to deal with the power, and a better suspension. You would have to spend north of 15K to get ur truck in the 11’s. ---

Yea they hammer with minimal mods but it seems like getting them to be stupid fast is quite the task. There use to be a guy that went to LVD with one that he replaced the blower with a turbo and his truck was nasty.
